ROI, Your Job Search And Social Media by Miriam Salpeter - Nov, 2009 “What’s the ROI? How do you know you are GETTING something from it? How much time do you spend?” These are questions a friend of mine asks when I talk about how much I enjoy using Twitter to connect with colleagues and job seekers. She wants quantified RESULTS. How much money did I earn from it? How many clients do I have because of Twitter? She’s busy. She needs to make every second count. I’m thinking, “Do you ask abou... |

Debunking Networking Myths by Brad Karsh - Nov, 2009 Myth #1: Networking is simply getting a job because you know someone. The following is not a likely scenario: You: I know Darren – he’s a big shot at Accenture. He said you’d give me a job. Recruiting Director: Of course, I will. You’re hired. We’ll see you on Monday morning at 9:00. I’m assuming $200,000 will work for you as your new IT Specialist salary. Sadly, that’s not what networking is all about. ... |

How You Can Make Networking a Science by Valerie Sokolosky - Nov, 2009 Networking is essential to advertising your personal brand – and, as you may realize, networking is sort of like power walking.

More so when you find someone on L... |

The Three Mistakes Job Seekers Make on LinkedIn by Joshua Waldman - Nov, 2009 In 2006, I trained my MBA class on how to use LinkedIn. Back then virtually no one was on. And those that were on formed some kind of a tight-knit community. I remember landing in Vietnam on vacation, knowing only my college friend. I used LinkedIn to schedule 10 meetings with local business leaders. Using the network, I arranged a breakfast meeting with the COO of the Mercedes plant, 2 vice presidents of the newly built... |

This Month’s LinkedIn Tip: Join a Group by Joshua Waldman - Nov, 2009 In 2006, when I still worked at Cisco, I started a little LinkedIn Group, called, “Cisco”. Ok, not very creative or original. I thought it was a good idea at the time to help Cisco folks leverage our mutual LinkedIn networks for career opportunities. HR didn’t like the idea though, which only made me want to do it more :) Today, my group has over 17,000 people, grows by 100 people every week and houses discussions about job... |
